Posted to Hazariel Atelier (RE:1997 Chimera dress -Thierry Mugler) Uploaded on 11/02/2024

I love how this video, along with the scales sorting video, is going to become this tribute dress's own history. I know the internet is forever, but maybe convert color stills to a paper book with a Patreon and scale-maker list in the appendix? Glad that this intricate work is being watched over by such a poufy floofy supervisor who works for cat food, cat videos and cuddles with the human.


Posted to Nurse_Kim (RE: Court TV and Karen Read case with Mark Bederow) Uploaded 11/03/2024

I have not watched Court TV, but based on what I heard here, they need new producers to set up and research these "expert" interviews. No one should say "I hate her" in an interview regarding a criminal case defendant. This attitude is the antithesis of the neutrality that should be expected from an expert commentator.  Having an attorney utter that phrase on a public video, is to me (unfortunately not to The Bar), a sanctionable offense. At the very least, it makes me distrust Court TV.  BTW Whenever Mark spoke about those who wish to opine about the Read case on twitter with their only background being a "twitter law degree" made me laugh out loud every single time. Perfect example of why I am not on twitter.


Posted to Uncivil Law (RE: Discussion on Closing in Sarah Boone Trial) Uploaded on 11/01/2024

Was this conviction expected, yes. Was the lawyer less than stellar, yes. Was everyone saved from the ordeal of Sarah Boone as defendant AND attorney, YES!        

UNCIVIL Q: (1a) Probably, she knew about air (1b) Maybe, she was out that year in school, (2a) Suitcase as self defense, sure a good swing with those wheels and a filled bag should leave a mark, (2b) Possibly, but might be hard to explain to store security if asked, "why the bag", and finally (3a) Attorney Owens used "the spaghetti defense" unfortunately for him nothing stuck, (3b) Winning an Oscar, well first you have to do something intelligent and entertaining, although sometimes it helps if you sucker punch the host.


Posted to The Behavioral Panel (RE: Sarah Boone behavior at trial) Uploaded on 11/01/2024

Her behavior is childlike, not in an innocence sense, but with a young child's lack of logical thinking. I agree with Chase Hughes @0:58:00--1:00:00. This is a 47 year old woman who is barely functioning at a preadolescence level. The Pam Beesly observation for a defendant's appearance at @1:40  (again by Chase 🀣) was genius. Early meetings with Attorney James Owens, de-evolved into shouting matches. Sarah Boone like any "tween" believed that she knew better than everyone else. Unfortunately for Sarah Boone she was not a child in a parental home but an adult who is in a criminal court. Magical thinking is only believed by very young children, narcissists and some politicians.

Possible Barred Rock Rooster names: (1)Patriarch (father of many) with Archie as a nickname (2) Jon Snow (because GoT is great, well most of the seasons) , (3) Johnny Cash (because the man had energy, talent and worked diligently) and (4) Bennett (an AI search named John C. Bennett as either the developer or publicist for the Barred Rock breed). Sounds like Dani's backstory and homestead would make a great video. When farm and foot (hope it is healing quickly) permit, road trip!


Posted to Scientology: Life After A Cult (RE: Daily News) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/04/2024

Replay crew here, I enjoy these news updates. It is always refreshing to find someone who understands what they are reading, can comment intelligently and keep to the facts as they stand when the video was uploaded. All those positives for Natalie's channel are why I seldom watch the trad media channels or apps. I am VERY intrigued about the future Nicole Kidman memoir.

BTW mini random rant: election (U.S.) is wearing me down which makes me so happy for "safe places" like this channel.


Posted to Attorney Melanie Little (RE:Joint Plea-Defense & Prosecution to Delay Trial->04/01/2025)

Replay crew here. Unless Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan has a TARDIS to revisit January 28-29 2022 in order to institute a proper investigation then there is no valid case to try. There is only corruption within, and misspent tax money by, The Commonwealth. With the appointment of a special prosecutor we are probably witnessing "smoke and mirrors" aka the art of misdirection by those who think that they are magicians. Under the watch of the DA of Norfolk County, the law has suffered as have those individuals who fall into the Commonwealth's legal system. Michael Morrissey is up for re-election in 2026. I feel the answer to WHY all of this mess is in that factor. On a lighter note, I always enjoy joint commentary by Melanie and Mark. I agree that Court TV needs to upgrade their management staff if they wish to survive as a reliable source of information.


Posted to Little Adventures (RE: Guinea Pigs Aging) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/05/2024

It is hard seeing my companions age. Obviously beats the alternative, but still it is something I never seem to get accustomed to. I have had so many animals share my life over the years, yet losses still pain me. Sorry,  I should be more upbeat. We give these beings a very good life which should be of comfort.  If Lumi is still racing around when she gets outside time, then good for her. Attitude is important and vital!♥


Posted to antphrodite (RE: Positive Changes [eventually] for America)  Uploaded 11/06/2024

I like the title. I want to believe the reading, but I am sad. I am limiting myself to small things, things that I have an actual say in, things that I can somewhat control. I do agree with protecting children from internet dangers. I also like the possibility that all people will cooperate in assisting in the healing of the environment which is sensible as we can't all just pack up and move off-world (not sure about Elon Musk though).  I would love a reading solely on Elon Musk, not Tesla, not twitter but exploring the entity that is Elon. Is Elon Musk the brat, provocateur, narcissist, anarchist that he appears to be in public? Or is Elon Musk simply 3ucking with us because it amuses him, perhaps something else?


Posted to Dan Murrell (RE: Charts With Dan) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/06/2024

In addition to the carefully researched statistics, Dan Murrell is here to give us his opinions on films regarding their ability to entertain, to inform and earn a profit. I value his opinions, but make my own decisions as to where my entertainment dollars land. Expressing contrary opinions on twitter often ends badly. Maintain an account for economics and/or PR reasons but limit the interaction for a while,  like maybe 4 years?πŸ˜‰


Posted to Andrea Burkhart (RE: Closing Remarks in Delphi Murder Case) Uploaded on 11/07/2024

Andrea Burkhart's knowledge of the law, rational thinking and (seemingly as no video allowed) excellent note-taking makes her one of the best analysts on You Tube. All those barbarians, pushing their way up the stairs to reach prime locations in the trial area should be pitied. They are essentially dinosaurs trying to survive in a new environment in which they are inherently incapable of understanding and cannot make the adaptions necessary to survive. This case is beyond troubling as an individual with a psychological past such as Richard Allen makes him an excellent candidate for brain washing. Local LE whether Delphi or Canton seem to prefer the opposite of a proper investigation. As Andrea has said, LE is seemingly making a person of interest fit their narrative of rather than using the evidentiary pieces to lead to possible or probable suspect(s). 


Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: A Day in Farm Life - 1st snow)  Uploaded on 11/07/2024

I recognize the body language and the reactions of the geese as they left the hoop coop to encounter the first snow of the season.  Same as mine when I discover that my environment has been altered beyond my routine. LOVE this video. I can imagine the camera set up and take down was lengthy, not to mention the editing, but I very much thank Morgan and the rest of the farm's inhabitants for their dedication to the craft.πŸ˜‰


Posted to antphrodite (RE: Why the national election turned out that way) Uploaded on 11/08/2024

In recent days, I have been avoiding all political discourse except for this channel. I do not trust Republicans, Democrats and legacy media. However while ant's readings may not be what I wish to hear, I feel that ant is the least prejudiced of most individuals out there who analyze or participate in politics. I hope that the U.S. emerges from this mess somehow better. For now I am disappointed, sad, and fearful.   Thank you ant for doing this reading. I admire the strength and insight shown.


Posted to Breakfast All Day (RE: review of movie HERETIC) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/09/2024

I have a "checkered" history regarding religious and cult issues, so the first half of this film sounds fascinating. For the remainder,  I will have to do more research as an R-rated movie by A24 is not usually for those who view horror films through scrim-like devices.


Posted to Jenna Miscavige (RE: Parental relationships) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/08/2024

Cults are responsible for so much damage to individuality. Leaving a cult, does not erase past damage. You have to re-wire your thinking in order to return to the world. This re-wiring (aka therapy) may be too painful for certain individuals to embrace as it entails the confirmation that not only was the cult wrong, but so was the period of time spent in that cult. Follow your own path. Perhaps in that journey, there will be familiar faces, if not there will certainly be new ones who will enhance the journey.  Thank you for Jenna Miscavige for sharing.


Posted to Breakfast All Day (RE: Recent Movies -- Reviews) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/08/2024

Replay crew here. I would like to add my thanks to all the others who appreciate the safe space that is this channel. For approximately 31 minutes, I could relax so thank you Christy and Alonso. BTW I love an entertaining, hopefully snarky, seemingly outrageous, violent (as much as the PG-13 rating will allow) holiday movie, so I am looking forward to the "mind vacation" that I hope Red One will be.


Posted to Karolina Ε»ebrowska (RE: Getting Roasted for Bridgerton Cosplay) 11/05/2024

Loved the dress, got the joke and would only roast Karolina for not bringing an emergency cosplay repair kit (mini scissors, thread, needle, superglue and safety pins) with her. Having just lived through the 2024 U.S. presidential election, I am feeling somewhat unsettled so perhaps my viewpoint is off.  It seems like we chased the bullies out of local schools and neighborhoods only to have them feed in the unsupervised wilderness of social media. In a way I feel sorry for all the haters, trolls and bullies, besides lacking civility, kindness, patience and an open mind, they appear to lack a sense of the absurd and humor.


Posted to Nurse_Kim (RE: Review of testimony of Dr. Justin Rice during Read trial) 11/09/2024

I appreciated Nurse Kim's commentary clarifying, to be blunt, correcting Dr. Rice's testimony. The nearest that I have to possessing medical expertise is my recent proximity to the physician I saw for an annual checkup. Dr. Rice seemed unconcerned with broken limbs, however couldn't a bone break throw clots? IMO this doctor is struggling with more than his ego, he does NOT want to be at this trial, he IS irritated and probably he is fatigued. The Read trial mimics a debilitating virus damaging the lives of everyone it infects. The defense team, defense witnesses and Karen Read have a good prognosis, the rest not so much.


Posted to HotandFlashy (RE: Retirement and YT Algorithm) Uploaded on 11'08/2024

New subscriber here. Ironically due to the subject of this video, I found this channel via a You Tube recommendation in my feed. The analysis of the YT algorithm issue is spot-on. Looking at the comments, views and subscriber numbers, perhaps go with the compromise of adjusting YT schedules and topic lengths to allow for more personal life yet still keeping the current options open. I enjoy makeup, humor and honesty, so maybe the Algorithm had a moment of clarity, when it recommended this channel?🀣


Posted to Collier Landry (RE: Sunday Sessions) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/10/2024

I have been trying to avoid any political discourse. I even took CNN and other news apps off my phone's news feed (but did not delete any apps). Stopping the flood of clickbait nonsense had been in my thoughts for a while. Legacy media in its desperation to survive and be relevant has only succeeded in losing the public's trust. Voting is the most important job of any citizen, however the content of anyone's vote is private. People are upset. Whether we lash out or not, we all need to take a time out, look around and improve what we can where and when we can. 


Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: What is living in the hole) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/11/2024

Alright now I have "What's in the HOLE?!" (a mashup of a 1995 film Se7en quote) running on a loop in my less than adequate brain. I know the tech and accessories are pricey, but if I promise to pay waaaay too much for the catnip once it goes on sale, could I request that Morgan purchase longer cords, a smart lens and more lighting? Hmm that is going to be quite pricey catnip, but it's organic right?🀣


Posted to antphrodite (RE: Are celebrities being cloned) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/11/2024

What is the Venn diagram (sorry, but snark alert) of people who voted for a certain individual and also believe in this cloning conspiracy? They have obviously discounted the numerous options open to the rich and famous, including but not limited to procedures and items such as: plastic surgery, fillers, botox, laser resurfacing, personal trainers, film filters, shape-wear and the most unfair advantage of them all, a lucky turn of the genetic roulette wheel. I agree with ant, but also going with Occam's razor. I think that the internet makes the mystery, secrecy and isolation of previous generations of celebrities highly difficult these days hence their influence and power are not at the level of early twentieth century celebs. Apologies for early snarky comment, I am still in "recovery".


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Golden Globes Corruption) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/11/2024

I knew that the GG was problematic, really almost a joke with all the freebies given in return for a good mention.  I did not realize the extent of the corruption and the cruelty. Regarding that "visit", it does not matter how strangers at your door identify themselves. Do not admit them until you have seen their paperwork (subpoena, search warrant). Keep the paperwork. Get all names and all badge numbers/IDs. The second thing you must do before admitting these people is CALL an attorney. Be polite, be non-confrontational, but be firm, make eye contact. Video everything. It is ironic, but what is said about a criminal abduction, "never ever let them take you to a second location", well even if it is LE and the 2nd location is a police station do not go unless accompanied by your attorney. 


Posted to Andrew Gold/Heretic (RE: 2024 U.S. Presidential Election) Uploaded on 11/11/2024

I wish that there had been a box for "none of the above" regarding the 2024 U.S. national election ballot. The U.S. political system is irretrievably broken. The nation is fractured. The name calling from both the Democratic and the Republican parties is beyond pointless and childish.  Name calling diminishes past tragedies and does not end current injustices. Heretic is defined as "one who differs in opinion from an accepted belief or doctrine". Perhaps that should be our starting point.


Posted to Emily D. Baker (RE: Quick Bits) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/11/2024

With many trials out there, quick bits needed to "grow larger" (into quick bites?). While I miss the live interaction with chat, I still find these shorter replay videos very informative and helpful in keeping track of so much data. Thank you to EDB and Team Baker for the data gathering that the rest of us don't have the money or the expertise to accomplish. I would be very interested in a deep dive into the Crichton Estate civil suit.  As for the amount of money, time and personnel to "arrest and execute" an elderly, probably healthy, squirrel I am sure that animals, their caretakers and New York taxpayers would LOVE to get an explanation for that fiasco.


Posted to Andrew Gold Heretic (RE: Interview with Ceri-Lee Galvin) Uploaded on 10/15/2024

I am a resident of the U.S. I have heard of male prisoners who suddenly announce that they are female. However this is the first that I have heard of a convicted pr3dator being allowed to switch genders simply to hide. Pr3dators rarely change or stop. So now somewhere in the UK is a convicted pr3dator wearing a wig who can reoffend whenever they choose. Members of a group are usually judged by their weakest link. This is not fair, but usually happens. I would consider a newly trans individual who is also a convicted p3dofile, to be an extremely weak link and very detrimental to the cause of trans rights.

Posted to Andrew Gold & Kinsey Schofield LIVE (RE: Apology Videos) Uploaded on 11/11/2024

There seems to be an epidemic of people embarrassing themselves on social media, then deleting the comments and finally the "I am sorry if you are offended" non-apology apology video.  I agree with Kinsey Schofield, negative attention is still attention. Any attention on social media increases follower numbers, possibly income of the account holder and definitely fame and/or infamy both of which appear to be interchangeable in the minds of certain influencers. I learned as a parent of young children not to reward or acknowledge negative behavior, so my children matured. Now what do we do with this influx of adult toddlers with 24/7 access to the internet?


Posted to LVcopsTV (RE: an improper and incorrect arrest by Phoenix police) Uploaded 11/09/2024

So many mistakes (and I am not in or related to anyone in LE) were made by the police in this video. It took the Governor of Arizona to get this man released with the arrest expunged? That is wild. I would suggest that day one of week one of academy training the instructor should spend that day indicating to the trainees that EVERYONE possesses a camera ready to video. Posting videos online to friends and followers is not a rare act or requires a special set of skills (thank you Liam N). Each trainee should be told, have it lodged firmly in their brain, maybe tattooed on their arm, that everyone is watching, possibly filming and certainly posting what you do at your job. So do it right.


Posted to Bernadette Banner (RE: Making a dark fantasy gown in one week) Uploaded 11/09/2024

Came for the dark fantasy gown (such a dramatically beautiful reveal), but stayed for the guinea pig zoomies. Have to love my 2 pigs' zoomies, but my absolute fav are their popcorn maneuvers. Seeing a rush job was useful for me, as the techniques had to be simple (my forte) so that time was saved. The "joining" of the material mix came together amazingly well, like a 3-D puzzle. Also πŸ‘to the people and pigs responsible for the making of this video.


Posted to Andrew Gold and Kinsey Schofield (RE: Royal Rumors) Uploaded on 11/11/2024

Harry and Meghan really have to hire a better publicist, someone who can "read the room". They live next door to Oprah right? Surely Oprah can offer a few suggestions. To be fair, the era of the typical celebrity (actors, supermodels, entertainers) is diminishing with online influencers being more in demand. Negative comments about anyone trying to recover from cancer and its treatments is beyond contempt.  BTW...shhh, I am a deeply closeted viewer of Hallmark holiday movies, but I agree probably not going to assist in satisfying the dreaded YT algorithmπŸ˜‰.


Posted to Smoky Glow (RE: Can we trust beauty influencers) Uploaded on to You Tube on 11/12/2024

Whether you are scrolling through TikTok or walking through a physical store, it is always wise to remember: caveat emptor (buyer beware). The only thing we can usually take for granted is that the product will not injure us or worse. I know in the "real" world especially finance, you have to acknowledge that you are being paid for being a spokesperson. For any influencer, just be clear. Mention or caption the video itself with relevant info concerning the influencer's relationship to the company. However the question was, do I really believe these people? Yes, but always with skepticism and my own opinions.


Posted to Attorney Melanie Little (RE: Hearing on Karen Read trial date and requests) 11/13/2024

The several fluffs that Attorney Brennan made regarding what side he is on, along with not getting "his homework" done on time, bites vs. bits and that bite expert (dog not computer) mention are not encouraging as to Attorney Brennan's expertise. The "new" information submission by Attorney Brennan given to the defense is somewhat puzzling regarding the Mansfield and the Waltham PDs mentions.  Karen Read is 44 now, in 2000 she was around TWENTY years old. I know twitter likes to punish people for past issues involving comments, views or activities, but being admissible in a court case after TWENTY years is quite another matter.


Posted to antphrodite (RE:  Elon Musk) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/13/2024

I recognize that the result of the 2024 U.S. election is more of a reflection of all of us who voted rather than any conspiracy. Twitter is a dumpster fire, but in fairness it was a dumpster fire before the Elon Musk purchase. As does ant, I see Elon Musk as someone who believes that he is Grand Master (aka chess master) making all the right moves faster and more accurately than anyone else. To continue the chess metaphor, I believe that he sees most of us as pawns, whatever our roles and titles might be.  Minor rant, if Mr. Musk wishes women to have more children here are some suggestions in no particular order: (1) improve quality of health care (2) lower costs of health care (3) make health care universal not tied to a particular job (4) give women absolute control of their own bodies (5) make child care free, safe and easily found (6) allow long maternity leaves without career damage (7) allow paternity leaves without career damage (8) allow flex time (I hear Elon HATES people working from home) at a job (9) fund all fertility treatments. It is not SpaceX technology Elon, the answers are quite simple regarding family and children.         (Not in comment: schools and teachers)


Posted to Down the Rabbit Hole News (RE: Mike Rinder) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/13/2024

I could not make it past a few minutes into Mike Rinder's first video. He looks so ill. Just a hypothesis, while Mike Rinder escaped this cult, I feel that he never actually escaped the changes this cult made to his life view and personality. While in the cult, he allowed very bad things to happen. It is natural to want to block that out once you leave a cult. Who wants to face their own demons? Now he is so ill that he had to resign from the Foundation he cared so much about. His anger at the injustice of it all has resulted in the recent videos. I wish Mr. Rinder and his family peace and resolution of all conflicts, but neither will come as a result of videos which blame and attack others.


Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: A day on the Farm) posted 11/15/2024

I enjoy the check in with all the animals at Gold Shaw Farm. Their personalities are as interesting as their names. If Captain "Runaway Red" Janeway could only tell us her motivation, well beyond maybe juicer bugs and seeds situated away from the bigger flock, for roaming. Does Bean feel stress, doubtful as she looks fairly perky. And do Barnacus, Telemachus and Larn, plot during the evening regarding early morning break-ins? Sad about the drone, unless it is deductible as a business expense. If so trade up and devote part of a video (or an entire short) to the new tech on Gold Shaw Farm.


Posted to Mike Brown (RE: Dear Mike Rinder....) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/15/2024

Rosemary Chicwak and Mike Brown are both heroes for enduring then surviving the damage this cult inflicts, yet still be able to assist others. Mike Brown's video was absolutely clear with relevant details, facts and numbers. I hope that Mr. Rinder and family are able to watch or at least be accurately informed of its content. That promise to be there for Mike Rinder's family, both currently in or out of this cult, made me cry. That awful reality of what Mike Rinder and his family are currently enduring is too triggering for me to watch. Mr. Rinder and his foundation helped so many people. May that be his legacy, not the misplaced rage and blame in those videos. May he and his loved ones find peace.


Posted to Molly Burke (RE:  Scams) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/16/2024

I always learn something from Molly Burke's videos, but this was invaluable. I had heard about the Scam#2 and Scam#3 focusing on influencers. I had not heard heard about the QR code scam. Thus far I have received no "free" packages. Several years ago, maybe in 2020 or 2021, I was getting frequent notifications that my Amazon account had been hacked or that I had ordered items costing hundreds of USD ( I had not ) but my input was necessary. After first checking my Amazon account, I replied to none of it. Scam#1, the scan code is SO scary. I go to a lot of cons, there are tons of QR codes available to scan. I know that is a different situation, but one bad actor "refurbishes" a poster and a person could get f****d.  THANK YOU MOLLY!πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—   BTW a thought, if someone searched Molly Burke (the influencer) online chances are they could get size, color pref and even item/brand pref.


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Golden Globes Part 2) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/16/2024

I would never have expected this GG war on several journalists to have been initiated by a solitary journalist (no less a citizen of Denmark). Powerful friends in powerful places is an old trope in conspiracies, but seeing the few changes made internally by GG, this trope still rings true.  Greg Goeckner (COO of HFPA and attorney) basically blaming Lorenzo Soria's death (former president of HFPA) on an innocent, is evil, appalling, loathsome and just about any other word found in my dictionary app under "abhorrent". In addition such a comment coming from an individual trained as an attorney, makes one wonder about that individual's ethics and intellect .  POSSIBLE QUESTIONS: (sorry if dup) How are you and your partner being treated now...not only by GG, but all those other (SO MANY) award groups?  Was that instigating Danish journalist only an anomaly or part of many foreign journalists (no individual names pls, just countries) who were never taught to share or that there is safety in numbers?  Advice only: NEVER engage with randos on twitter as whether they be trolls or 'bots there is no reason, no logic and very few facts to be had in their reality.


Posted to antphrodite (RE: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo co-stars in Wicked) Uploaded 11/16/2024

As others have mentioned in the comments section, the only recent negative in regards to Cynthia Erivo was her over-reacting on social media (twitter?) to a fan's reimagining of the famous Wicked poster. I have seen the musical, Wicked. The characters/voices of Glenda and Elphaba have to be equally as good (or in the case of a film to at least allow an editor to frame an image and/or auto-tune to make that happen). I agree with ant, there is possibly maybe some tenseness which could escalate when the various nominations are announced. Hopefully both women will come to the realization that their fate is not in the noms or those chintzy statues, but in the bottom line (aka profit) of the film. Profit is what pushes any actor up to the front of the line in auditions or a director's "wish list".

This man was fatally injured at a police academy, witnessed by multiple cadets, veteran LE members, trainers and probably cameras. Yet the only thing we hear is crickets.. This is cruel to the family. The handling of this tragedy and subsequent investigation strongly leans toward corruption at high levels...what other answer is there? As of this comment, there is only crickets.


Posted to Collier Landry (RE: Delphi Murder Verdict) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/16/2024

Richard Allen spent a year in that soon to be condemned h***hole. Under those conditions, I might have confessed also. Maybe he is guilty, but the reasonable doubt in this case is enormous, the LE errors egregious, defendant's background is more consistent with self harm than SA and the judge's decisions quite problematic. The jury has proclaimed Richard Allen guilty, I wish I could be as certain as they seemed to have been. 


Posted to Nik Starow (RE: Delphi Murder Trial & Verdict) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/16/2024

I enjoyed the discussion of this panel.  I cannot imagine what these jurors will eventually think if any of them do research on this case. Whether Richard Allen committed this crime or not, his imprisonment was barbaric, he was presumed guilty at the start of the trial and his defense was not allowed to prove reasonable doubt due to Judge Gull's rulings. So much for amendments (to the U.S. Constitution, first 10 amendments are called Bill of Rights) 4, 5, 6 and maybe 8. With several recent questionable jury decisions, I wonder if the concepts of: (1) innocent until proven guilty and (2) reasonable doubt are properly understood and applied by the average juror.

FOR MY INFO ONLY:

First Amendment: Protects freedom of speech, religion, and the press, as well as the right to peacefully protest and petition the government 

Second Amendment: Assures the right to bear arms 

Third Amendment: Deals with the quartering of soldiers 

Fourth Amendment: Deals with search and arrest 

Fifth Amendment: Includes the provision that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law 

Sixth Amendment: Deals with the right to a fair trial and the right to counsel 

Seventh Amendment: Deals with rights in civil cases 

Eighth Amendment: Deals with bail, fines, and punishment 

Ninth Amendment: Reserves for the people all rights not expressly granted to the government 

Tenth Amendment: Reserves any powers that are not specifically given to the federal government for the states or the people

From something that originally looked like a clone in early format to an adorable clothed raccoon was absolutely magical to watch. I wondered about the glue for eyes, but they came out perfectly. I like the idea of an auction benefitting groups that will no doubt soon be under-funded, if funded at all. Well let's not set our thoughts in that direction, at least for now. Onto more little creatures wearing adorable clothing, beautiful murals or turning another room into someplace from Middle-earth . Talking about cute, I enjoyed the irony of Frodo wearing clothes (well a vest), while a raccoon was also getting an outfit. Thank you for the cleansing breath time out. I may have to be reminded to do that over the next few years. Hope Frodo's new set of stitches hold up to his lifestyle.πŸ˜‰

Over the years I have developed my own "uniform" as for me it makes my life easier. In the last few years, I have purchased most of my clothing at online resale sites. I had started experimenting with colors and patterns as what you want may not be available in the usually worn single color.  Lately I have slid back to blacks and neutrals. Perhaps time will change that. Just an FYI, November on the East Coast of the U.S. has quite the assortment of weather patterns. Currently my car is home to: a rain coat, an insulated quilted jacket, a knit cardigan and a flannel-ish hoodie. By December these items will be joined by snow boots, a hat, a scarf and gloves. I would love to see that variety handled better by some one like Nicole. I desperately need lessons on how not to literally drive around in a closet.πŸ˜‰

Christy's description sounds like (I have not seen Big Red but intend to) this 2+ hour movie should have been edited down to a more digestible duration. Candy is enjoyable, but not in huge gallon bag quantities. Warning: diving into more old tropes. Is this the movie that we deserve (shiny, clever, elevated, ready to win Cannes or Sundance)? Or is this the movie we (at least I do) need (batsh3t craziness, loopy themes, entities fighting savagely, plus a Santa who could enter and perhaps win the next Olympic weight lifting event?  I have to go with Alonso's take as I need the holidays (aka happy times), frivolous behavior, fantasy and a movie that will teach me nothing new, just remind me to laugh.

I just arrived at this review after seeing Christy and Alonso's review of Red One (haven't seen but wish to). Is a copyright infringement suit imminent from the corporate overlords at Hallmark? Still I find it amusing that I disagreed with Christy on Red One and disagreed with Alonso on this movie (which I also have not yet seen, but wish to). Sure Hot Frosty (the cringe obviously begins with the title) sounds a bit awkward, objectifying and weird, but at this point in time I want movies that I can laugh with or even laugh at...besides I already subscribe to Netflix πŸ˜‰.

Posted to Lawyer You Know (RE: Interview with Mark Bederow re:Aidan Kearney)  11/17/2024

In listening to these two highly educated people talk, I wonder if there isn't a reason that the jury was deadlocked. The defense was trying to prove corruption of authority figures and the prosecution was trying to submit an implausible investigation and mostly unreliable witnesses to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Karen Read was guilty. I think that it was a bridge too far for a majority of the jury to blame LE for misconduct. IMO, jurors do not understand two concepts basic to any trial (1) innocent until PROVEN guilty and (2) Reasonable Doubt.  I love what Peter Tragos said, while not a new idea it bears multiple repetitions; if the law is to work it must be applied to protect the worst of us in order to also protect the best and the rest of us. At the conclusion of this interview, when Peter Tragos asked if Mark Bederow had a YT channel, the expression of MB's face was HILARIOUS. MB's mind was probably going when, how, why (not necessarily in that order).πŸ˜‰

So many questions about a FIFTEEN year old child being traumatized by the "ADULT" Judge Kenneth King. Where was the teacher/instructor/trainer in charge of these students? Why was there not a signed consent for the minor to leave school grounds? Why wasn't the parent immediately notified when this farce began?  How could actual court employees have allowed this? Why hasn't this judge been immediately removed from the bench and disbarred from ever practicing law for the rest of his life? Isn't Judge King's action basically criminal assault and illegal imprisonment?  Has (this hopefully soon to be simply a "Mr.") Kenneth King been criminally charged? How have no authorities commented or reacted?  EDB: PLEASE FOLLOW UP ON THIS CASE. Thank you.

So employees (past ones, if you believe these attorneys) of this tax-exempt cult are being linked to exposure of jurors' identities, home and work addresses? These "former" employees do not know the meaning of ethics, integrity or sadly even the law. Legal sanctions often end up being a rap on the hand which does not detour future bad acts. Money is important in our society, but just a rhetorical question to these never-in (maybe?) attorneys, PI's or anyone else, is this cult the entity you wish to pledge your loyalty to and income on? Realistically, the answer is obvious.


Posted to HauteLeMode (RE: Red Carpet at Governor's Awards) Uploaded to You Tube 11/20/2024

IMO the disconnect when looking at Lily-Rose Depp's hair couture is due to the very close position of her open neckline and shoulders to her head. It is an optics thing. Depp's hair style would have looked dramatic in a high neck, very adorned upper portion, gown. That Chanel vintage gown which might have needed more edgy footwear, also needed a focal point from above the neckline area. Perhaps a jeweled hair/forehead ornament or maybe a black or rose gold hair style version of the hair look worn by the character, Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) in the 1997 film, The Fifth Element? Either way, at least from what Luke showed, everyone did kind of step up, or at least try to, in regards to this particular Red Carpet.

I am a regular viewer of TikTok, but usually only to follow influencers that I already follow on You Tube.

If a client is involved, well there is the fact of the payment. If you are the client then what is the upside? I agree with Uncivil Law, perhaps if one is annoying enough (aka throws enough paperwork at the State) even a State Prosecutor might get worn down. With all this legal warfare, I do hope that Nick Rekeita and his wife get the assistance they need to become and stay free from problematic substances.

Just a guess as I am not an attorney or even Canadian, but for a Judge to go from 0 to 60 in seconds make me wonder what happened in court earlier that day. Defense may have been missing their complete notes, but surely a 10 minute adjournment would have been more sensible than putting the defense attorney into a cell for 10 minutes, without files of any kind. As shaken as defense councel must have been, if there were no other conflicts (such as transportation and/or other legal business). He should have stayed, but compared to the Judge's egregiously inappropriate behavior the defense counsel's sudden departure is understandable. I would be interested in a followup, should Mr. Lebessis agree to share his story with this channel.

Mixed thoughts (sort of sorry for length):   (1)LOGIC: People are properly angry at MST, Canton LE and the DA of Norfolk County, but no one should enter private spaces or businesses unless invited by word or intent. (2)RANDOM: The named LE of this report is Detective Timothy Taylor. Any one remember an old TV series called, Tool Time? The protagonist's name was Tim "The Toolman" Taylor.  If this ducky narrative (that noun in itself is suss) is real, then this LE unit really does know how to do a proper investigation.

While this video is dramatic, intense and quite cinematic, it is also a very plausible representation of what happened when a group of powerful and well-connected individuals were present at the scene of an accident that they sought to cover up.

California sending only a social worker out to a domestic or an unstable person call. Never ever send a mental health worker or anyone alone without LE backup to a call like that.

Whatever it was it had to be fast, relatively small but still strong along with being quite agile to not ignite the wrath of Toby and Abby.  BTW shock can impact the immune system so pamper that rooster until his behavior returns to the typical rooster level of confidence.

Criminal indictment, prosecution and "final destination" of those enablers, not to mention the civil suits, could take multiple decades.

If it exists (it would be pricey) perhaps there is an orthotic that can be inserted into an ordinary boot to immobilize the broken toe. Just a thought, but ask a medical professional (aka Mrs. G) if it would be safe to stabilize the broken toe by linking (via velcro bandage) to the uninjured toes while you are walking around the farm.

Blumhouse and A24 have proven that reasonably budgeted movies can be profitable, enjoyable and occasionally worthy of a nomination for an award.  Not my idea, but someone on YT mentioned that only one audience test screening might have enabled those in charge of this film to (quoting my car's AI) recalculate.

I like method dressing. It seems perfectly matched to the job of promoting a movie. Of course when you take a leap, sometimes you fall. Blake Lively's method dressing in the "It Ends With Us" tour, was a unicorn due to the on set and on tour turbulence. A course correction probably was not easy to attempt as I am guessing months go into the wardrobe planning for a tour. However, I feel that somewhere in Blake Lively's personal wardrobe were strong, structured, impeccably tailored garments that could be accessorized with hint of a floral for hair, jewelry or other accessories? That phrase attributed to Blake Lively, "grab your friends, wear your florals" made me imagine a wacky rom-com not a movie about DV.

It is embarrassing, scary and unnecessary for a community to be in terror of a group of teens. It almost sounds like a bad 1950's movie. However this is not theatrics, this is the reality for the taxpayers of Danvers, Massachusetts. Danvers is in Essex County, not Norfolk (remember Sandra Birchmore, Karen Read) or Worcester  (remember Enrique Delgado-Garcia, Molly Bish) Counties. It is depressing to hear yet a 3rd county in Massachusetts without ethical and/or effective LE and DA's.

I have no problems with Victoria Secret having angel-ish models moving on a walkway monthly, annually or at any time. Victoria Secret's business model (pun intended) should concentrate on making their brick and mortar stores more accessible, hire more diversely, promote from within and publicize donations to those in need due to amputation. Many insurance companies will only allow reimbursement for one set of artificial limbs every 2 years.  However should an amputee wish to to start running, marathon walking or anything athletic or even wish prosthetics that accommodate wearing high heels, then you pay yourself or start a GoFundMe.  It is not rocket science Victoria Secret, adapt or become an unfortunate entry in the history of defunct companies.

Forget the trigger warning on, "there be spiders". The hair cutting @14:20 made me gasp. My hair grows excruciatingly slowly so I internalized the existential horror of that cut. I loved the autumnal witch and the cursed pumpkin (that sounds like a VERY weird children's book) costumes. From my closet of everyday items of mostly black, my costume would have to be choosing from sequined tops, glitter skirts, lacy gauntlets, odd shawls, boots and of course black items. A costume from my closet would be a goth or disco witch.  BTW I did catch that clip on Micarah Tewers channel. Drop her a DM, then you can be online friends.😜

IDEAS (some old some new): (1)Convert an extreme and/or expensive trend seen at the recent fashion show to a more affordable price along with a more "toned-down" silhouette, such as oversized billowy sleeves done as loose sleeves. (2) What to have for hosting your own new year's eve party such as games, decor, food that is tasty yet easy to make, maybe suggesting a dress code (for example, every one wears any fashion in either white or black or both)? (3) Fashion ideas for different "levels" of new year's eve events such as a gala, a smallish group, or a 2-person dinner out? (4) Amazon likes to push (encourage?πŸ˜‰) purchases on my opening page. If UK Amazon is the same, what are they trying to sell to Roxx? Are any of these items actually what YOU need? (5) Not sure in what video format it should be, but I am a pushover for jewelry, especially earrings. Maybe go on ETSY and find styles you have never seen on other shopping services, but try to keep it affordable?

I like option #2 with the huge walk in shower. Maybe consult with the builder on cost of adding a tub to the walk in shower should you wish to resell. Perhaps the future use of this home even without selling might involve adding one of those individual (sit down) safety shower units?  Of course the expensive #3 does sound like it would add to the future resale value of the house, but obviously would cut into current savings. I am wondering how the bathroom reno will affect Jason. Would an illustrated journal of the bathroom before reno'd, along with one illustration per page of what will be done to each section of the bathroom along with a projected last chapter showing this bathroom's future look, be of any assistance?

I feel it is likely that Karen Read is guilty of a DWI, anything else is unprovable at this point. Judging by evidence at Karen Read's trial, DWI seemed to be a very popular activity that night in Canton. Most of the expert witnesses called by the prosecution seemed unable to fulfill their one mission...to be an expert. Civilian witnesses seemed to have selective amnesia.The truth may be out there, but it is buried under an enormous amount of muck and lies. Officer John O'Keefe deserved far better treatment by his peers and co-workers and Karen Read should be acquitted due to reasonable doubt.

I am soooooo old, that I can remember grey. Remember grey? It is the color between white and black. A product can be in the grey area, potentially harmful yet proven useful (I am thinking of a certain plant). So many discussions whether political debates, social media or even around the dinner table gives us only two sides to choose from, either person/opinion A or B. Either person/side can potentially contain viewpoints amenable to many. AI can be extremely helpful, but if not properly developed and monitored by humans we risk damage to the most vulnerable among us. Ironically the decision is binary; either we regulate AI ourselves or someday a few bureaucrats with as much knowledge of computers as an amoeba has will do it for us. Which is preferable.

These "mystery boxes" can contain housewares, decor, cosmetics, clothing or accessories that are dead stock, returns, over stock or whatever. Maybe try online thrift stores as they REALLY want to yeet unwanted stock that is taking up space in their warehouses.  Perhaps pose that question as an IG poll where the subscribers can type in their own site suggestions?


Posted to Caitlin Dougherty (RE:Post-Death Trial and "execution" of Oliver Cromwell) 10/14/2024

Caitlin Dougherty's commentary on history is always entertaining and provokes me to research...a bit. I did a shallow dive into local politics of Egypt in the 1650's. Even way back in the pre-internet 1650's, didn't Egypt have a well-known rep in the practice of mummification even if death involved an infection? I guess the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) was ruling Egypt in that period, but I think they had a trade relationship with England. I am probably wrong, as I said it was an extremely shallow dive. Perhaps Occam's razor is applicable, as most likely there wasn't time to ship an expert in mummification from Egypt to England. Or was there some hatred leftover from the Crusades? Although I do not think Egypt was "visited" by those (desperately reaching for a pun here) literally benighted individuals. Finally there is the probable hubris of the English royal (ahem, protectorate) physicians?  BTW when ancestral English figures of power canceled an historical figure, they did NOT mess around.


Posted to Collier Landry (RE: Menendez Bros. Plea for Release) Uploaded on 10/27/2024

There is no easy yes or no answer for these 2 men. I know that the first trial ended in a mistrial. For some reason the abuse by the parents (primarily by the Dad with the lack of concern or care by the Mom) was not allowed into the 2nd trial. Was the reason the lack of verification by anyone outside of the sons? Should they be let out, I honestly do not know. The execution style of the un-aliving of the parents was brutal. However so is SA of children. Were I on the parole board, I would like to see current (and past) psych and behavioral reports on both men. For any release I would wish to view their living and work arrangements along with the structure of the probation. The actions of the brothers indicated pre-planning and post-event fabrication. This tragedy occurred in August 1989. Think at how different our society is in 2024 from 1996 (year incarceration began). Maybe some day (not Thanksgiving 2024) they can live in a managed group home. These two need to decompress just like a deep sea diver must before returning to the surface. Their inclusion into society might require years of supervision to ensure their safety and the public's safety.

Not that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis read these comments, but they might wish to wait if France is one of those places in Europe to which they may relocate. There is a movement in France to bolster the laws concerning SA. What might be the tipping point is an ongoing trial accusing Dominique Pelicot of instigating horrific acts of violence upon his (now ex) wife. Due to videos taken by the accused, there is little doubt as to his guilt. While I do applaud Ashton and Mila wishing to move for the safety of their children "to keep them more grounded" is the quote attributed to them, but France might not be enthusiastic and accepting of Ashton Kutcher and his family due to all the negativity out there concerning this couple.

It took multiple views of this video (you are welcome Dan) to get my own list. Interestingly more than half of my list contained animated films. I am putting in my order now for a spoiler episode concerning the film, The Substance as I have extreme body horror issues.  I will be watching the docs, on Christopher Reeve and Ibelin on a very small home screen with its inadequate home audio as I have a very unpleasant "cry face". Good or bad, I HAVE TO watch Megalopolis. Finally because I am a very easy mark for antithetical holiday movies, I will watch, Red One.  I am at my financial limit on streaming services (remember the good old days when we all gleefully cut that cord?), hence most likely anything not on Disney+, Max, Hulu and Prime is not on my streaming list, but I do have "acquaintances" with deeper pockets.

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Continuing Drama regarding "It Ends With Us") Uploaded 09/03/2024

This drama is getting SO complicated. I actually forgot about the writer's strike element.  It would seem that the WGA would be more concerned about not selling new scripts or not fully writing a scene for a film already in development. Like so many celebrity dramas, this one started relatively small and fixable. Before the promotional tour began for "It Ends WIth Us" there should have been meetings between all interested parties of whom I am assuming to be 100% adults concerning the goals of the tour. However, before anyone starts feeling sorry for, or angry at, anyone involved in this film, just check out some of the financials: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/it-ends-with-us-box-office-milestone-1235976625/ (apologies if this is behind a paywall).

Well in this case, sounds like a bound copy of the script for "Lover of Men...Abraham Lincoln" might be something in which I would be far more interested. Fascinating to think that the "love that they could not name" in the 1800's might have been somewhat responsible for the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

Due to a paywall put up by SFChronicle, all I could read was that the "victim" was a Canadian tourist (so sorry). This action by SF-LE seems really close to theft. I am surprised that the subpoena did not have instructions to LE indicating that the subpoena had to be physically handed to and read by the owner/driver before the car could be removed. There are ring doorbells, expensive exterior home cameras, along with pricey Teslas. These items are all privately owned property. QUESTION: Unless the owner is proven complicit in the crime that the cameras caught, how can it be legal to tow the car without proper/in-person notification?  Also, why isn't the Tesla's sentry data uploaded to a cloud?

I have often heard that therapists say the main difficulty in counseling people deep into cults is getting these people to acknowledge that, " yes, the cult is wrong" because the next step is that obviously by association this makes the "participant" wrong in their beliefs. Admitting you were wrong requires a certain amount of logical thinking, ethics and intelligence. I wonder if those in Canton and Stoughton LE, MSP along with the office of the DA of Norfolk County are even capable of rational thinking at this point?

I always enjoy the addition of Mark Bederow to commentaries, but I also enjoyed (new to me) LVcopsTV.  Obviously, the Karen Read case is polarizing. In trials, I try to look at both sides. However how can any one look at the incomprehensibly amateur (I could have done better job by viewing CSI and Law & Order) investigation done by local LE with the MST and say "good job"? Ironically, the death of Officer John O'Keefe was probably a tragic accident that took place inside or near a certain home. Trying to distance themselves from this incident led "individuals of interest" to put all of us in the place that we find ourselves now.  Hopefully the indictment of FORMER officer Farwell (regarding Sandra Birchmore), will lead to more indictments or at the very least early retirements. Norfolk County taxpayers deserve to get the "to protect and to serve" as promised.

The danger about "woke behavior" run amok seems to be unfortunately be seen at universities. A university should be a place to encourage debate and the exchange of ideas. As for doctors, I would go with Occam's razor depositing the blame for these unnecessary surgeries to greed and to incompetence. I do not think that NHS-UK coverage for the public is sufficient patient follow up. Any irreversible surgical procedures should be done within a hospital setting after a thorough history, labs, physical examination and psych evaluation have been administered. After 13 years of age, puberty blockers have a time frame, I believe it to be (I am not a medical professional) months to 1 or 2 years to avoid future fertility and other medical problems. The stories of people trying to de-transition is so sad as their pain is directly attributable to doctors forgetting their oath, "...first, do no harm...".

In doing a quick search, I cannot find a Mississippi law requiring guns in private homes to be locked and stored unloaded. However, if there was a psychosis due to medication or mental health condition, this individual would probably have found another type of weapon. I wonder about the friend who saw the deceased, remained at the home seemingly fine with the situation until both girls ran away?  Either way Carly Gregg needs a full psych evaluation, lab tests, a detailed medical history and probably a forensic psychiatrist to make all the data comprehensible to the judge and jury. She definitely presents a danger to society, but I think a 24/7 controlled environment with more doctors than security guards might be the best place for her. After several years of therapy and maturation of her frontal lobe (specifically the pre-frontal cortex), a re-evaluation could be made at age 25.

I wonder if the success of the (romantic drama) film, "It Ends With Us" will result in the studio elders rushing a similar themed grouping to a wide release? They might wish to consider 2 factors first:  (1)This movie was based on a best-selling novel  (01/2022 NY Times best seller list) AND even more importantly (2) the dueling PR tours for this movie has resulted in considerable free advertising which most likely brought in people who were intrigued by the drama off-screen.

However what makes the Emily Armstrong apology even worse than the Ashton-Mila apology is the tragedy of Linkin Park band member Chester Bennington.

Dr. Gunn's (she has a PhD) body language leans toward someone who is not used to being criticized even in a positive/learning experience type of way. Odd, considering her (self-reported?) competitive background. Animosity regarding her inclusion on Australia's team should be directed at the judges whose ratings allowed her to complete at the 2024 Olympics, plus the confusing convoluted Olympic scoring system for this sport. Directing negative comments or harassment at Rachael Gunn, her family and friends gains nothing for this sport.

What about the "sacred purity" of being a small landowner, is what I would ask Vermont Fish and Game. Isn't requesting aged or handicapped landowners to physically post their land against federal laws regarding discrimination?  Fish and Game's attitude is likely a combination of an older generation fixated on the image of the self-sufficient hunter of past centuries matched with the entrance of a more modern entity... the lobbyist. Admittedly small farmers and other landowners do not have the money, especially in view of the flood tragedy, but perhaps the lobbyists' methods can be (affordably) adapted to get attention in Montpelier.

Economics, history and societal trends are not subjects I usually spend long periods of time with, but  Morgan Gold made it enjoyable and informative.  I understand the phenomenon of parasocial interaction, yet I still made judgements (aka posted comments) about the Jet Blue heir, his ex-ballerina wife and many children. I have zero actual knowledge concerning their day-to-day life or if they ever went to Greece. I appreciate Morgan Gold's reality check.  I have never felt that Gold Shaw Farm was ever presenting a myth, only the life of one particular family of 2 humans and many I agree with other comments. Never hire the attorney that "cold calls" you to offer their services at a "reasonable cost". The first personal conversation initiated by the attorney was the final red flag for this client. While the makeup business is a somewhat crowded and highly competitive marketplace, being inexperienced regarding attorney/client contracts should not ruin the life of a small makeup company owner. The lawsuit, in discovery, will make information public that I am assuming no one wishes to be made public. Arbitration can be problematic (ask Disney), but in this case perhaps it can end the financial drain and PR nightmare for all involved parties..


Posted to Attorney Melanie Little (RE:Worcester County DA on recruit's death) Uploaded 09/16/2024

The praises that officials are giving concerning Enrique Delgado-Garcia seem empty and perfunctory. Instead of helping, their comments seem almost enraging. We are now at the point where no one believes the MSP, the DA's or any person employed by the Commonwealth. The CM's best hope was to stay with provable facts, not prevarication, not empty acclaim and certainly not this press conference full of word salad without any clarity.

Posted to Growing Up In Scientology (RE: Natalie and Aaron discussing Emily Armstrong)09/18/2024

Always good to hear a respectful discussion with even slightly differing viewpoints. Unfortunately such discussions are rare these days. Emily Armstrong showing up at DM's pre-trial hearing to be part of the group that harassed the Jane Doe's, at least for me, this is a step too far.  Her posted explanation seemed soulless and without personality as if written by a PR firm. Unfortunately Emily Armstrong isn't the first celebrity to be (ironically) a front person for this cult. Fans need to do research concerning this cult. When informed of this cult's abuses, then let the fans make their own choice regarding Art vs.The Artist. 


Posted to the Lawyer You Know (RE: New (special) prosecutor - Karen Read Trial) 09/20/2024

I am sorry, this news does not resonate with me. This special prosecutor could be the best attorney since Clarence Darrow and a model of ethical behavior. Whatever Karen Read did or did not do in those early morning hours, the ability to legally determine why Officer John O'Keefe died was lost that morning with inclusion of the leaf blower, red solo cups, S&S grocery bags and an incompetently managed chain of evidence. For the future "to be better, cleaner more to the point" reform MSP, clean up Norfolk County LE and do better to keep the residents of the Commonwealth safe.


Posted to antphrodite (RE: 2nd assassination attempt) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/20224

Ant is correct, giving these disturbed people fame and coverage is giving them the "food" that they crave, encouraging others equally disturbed to mimic the behavior, thus placing us all in a horrific loop. I am talking about the mentally unstable, the narcissists, not any kind of political conspiracy. The U. S. has a large problem with undiagnosed and untreated mental illness.  I agree with ant, it is scary to be afraid to go to school, to go to the theater or even go shopping. 


Posted to Hazariel Atelier (RE: Scale Sorting) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/20/2024

With two such valuable assistants ("cat who is not my cat" and le Marquis) the sorting time must have flown by.πŸ˜‰ The colors and scale designs were so vibrant. The final gown has to be amazing just with that alone. While I cannot go to the Florida convention, I know that I would love to see a panel on "craft hacks". These would be ways to handle a fast finishing of one's cosplay when time is just about up. What to do (supplies, repair techniques) for "fashion emergencies". I am not a fancy cosplayer so my emergency kit consists of elastics bands, lots of safety pins, tape and one needle with neutral color thread.


Posted to Little Adventures (RE: Nail Cutting) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/21/2024

Due to vision issues (mine) I never cut anyone's nails. I make nail cutting part of the annual vet visit. The expert trimming of the nails was impressive to watch. It is funny how our animal companions know are movements so well in that today's "good girl" can be tomorrow's flight risk.


Posted to More Mia Maples (RE: Astronaut/Camping Food) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/21/204

As I am non-starter in the field of physics, when that bag started smoking I was AMAZED. Some of the items remind me of "con" (as in anime- or comic- ) food. Along with actual water, I bring granola bars, nut/dried berry packets, raisons and (if I am feeling wealthy) grapes. Grapes, at least in my area of the U.S. are pricey.


Posted to Nurse_Kim (RE: Death of ENRIQUE DELGADO-GARCIA) Uploaded on 09/21/2024

These cadets would be better at LE if their program prioritized areas such as: (1) investigative and interrogation skills,  (2) martial arts that emphasizes self-defense such as karate, (3) behavioral (body language) analysis, (4) shooting to disable not to kill (using shoulders, knees as targets) and (5) proper handling of a crime scene. Judging by errors made by CM police departments in recent years this academy is not producing LE officers who can fulfill their mission statement, to protect and to serve. As for "Fight Night" the fate of Enrique Delgado-Garcia indicates that the negatives of this activity far outweigh any positives that the current people in power may imagine.


Posted to Nate the Lawyer (RE: Sean Combs' arrested-no bail) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/18/2024

The legal (and constitutional) right is "innocent until proven guilty", however I am too affected by news for me to stay with that basic tenet. Also keeping a straight face (and open mind) during Combs' attorney's press conference was impossible. I laughed during the attorney's statement. Good luck finding impartial jurors. The voir dire may be almost as long as the actual trial. Wonder if defense might request a bench trial?


Posted to Dan Murrell (RE: review of Megalopolis) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/24/2024

I would have liked to watch this in a theater, but I need a cohesive plot (I am prone to migraines) which sounds like I would not have. Was it someone other the Francis Ford Coppola I would blame the studio for the plot issues and the bumpy editing. With Coppola financing this movie that does not seem likely. Seems like this beautiful mess of a movie will be watched by me on a streaming service where I can control the pause and FF buttons. 


Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Carly Gregg) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/24/2024

Dr. Grande is correct, Carly Gregg's sentence does protect society. Although I would add, protection only from THIS individual. Charging Carly as an adult was done according to Mississippi law. However, I have lingering doubts about her capacity to control her impulses and comprehend consequences (significant mental health problems in her maternal and paternal lines). A better solution would have put her into a secure mental health institution with a re-evaluation done after she turned 25. Tragically she is not the first teenager with access to a gun to act on impulse. Until we can identify and treat adolescents properly she will not be the last.


Posted to Rachel Maksy (RE: Halloween Decor) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/27/2024

Hanging lit pumpkins, chef's kiss. I love the colors and textures of the sofa decor plus it's Frodo The Pup approved. I am an inhabitant of a northeastern U.S. state so Halloween is heavily nostalgic for me. I do love the candy corn metaphor, analogy, fable, wisdom? I would like to think that as one person who believes candy corn to be less tasty than styrofoam (accidentally ate a sliver once), I still feel that this candy is the omen of a time of tasty treats and beautifully decorated (by nature) outside "decor".


Posted to Lucy Livin (RE: Clothing DeCluttering) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/28/2024

The stained white tee shirt @7:30 reminds me of mineral stains, usually caused by laundering in "hard" water. Lots of methods online, but the one that worked for me: "Mix baking soda with water to make a paste, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for up to 15 minutes. Then, lightly scrub with an old brush." Beware of removing the stain and the material! When I declutter, I also consider whether the item could be retired to my (small) cosplay closet. Keep the Barbie jacket, probably not the Minnie denim dress/coat and get that beautiful pink plushy jacket somewhere to be restored, it is stunning.


Posted to Collier Landry (RE: Audio tape of Doyle professing his innocence) Uploaded 09/28/2024

I know nothing of this Pastor, but I suspect that he thinks he knows more about criminal behavior than he actually knows. That is only annoying. What is frightening is the ease, the fluidity, the smoothness of the responses of Collier’s father to the Pastor's questions. Too bad this was not filmed, as I wonder if body language would have given Collier's father away even before his lies were exposed. Leaving in those vintage commercials and traffic updates, alright I admit it, made me laugh.


Posted to The Red Letter Media (RE: tour of a ghost house) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/28/2024

I say go to one of these places, get comfy and read aloud Finnegans Wake (by James Joyce). If ghosts exist they will do one of two things, they will indicate happiness or more likely they will become frustrated with Mr. Joyce's writing style and throw that ball or shut that f'ing door.


Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Broken Toe) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/30/2024

Get (real) leather boots that fit securely. Wear them around the house for a few days to acclimate them to your feet. I used to constantly roll my ankles as I have impaired depth perception. I wear short boots in the warm months and tall boots in the cold months. While I still step into holes, crevices and cracks,  I usually emerge uninjured. Once I did damage my toe, not broken but still quite painful. I bought toe wraps on Amazon that are made of velcro to immobilize my toe for several weeks. I took "rest" (aka no toe wrap) periods while I was seated at my computer. Full Disclosure: this is anecdotal evidence only, as I was not seen by a physician.  I do like the staff idea mentioned in comments.  Make one or get a crafted one at a Renfaire (usually pricey, but very Middle Earth-ish). Heal soon!


Posted to Dan Murrell (RE: Weekly Box Office) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/30/2024

The internet proves the Dunning — Kruger effect is alive, is well and is haunting us all 24/7. There was a comment on this already, so I will second it; whenever Giancarlo Esposito's name comes up, just play that clip  (btw assuming this clip is short enough to not generate a copyright strike). Haven't seen Megalopolis yet. Many reviews seem mention the beautiful images and the confusing editing. When this film streams, having a running commentary by Francis Ford Coppola would be fascinating.


Posted to Observe (RE: Nikocado Avocado - deep fake or not) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/29/2024

I do not follow this individual. I can only make a guess from the video segments I see here.  His stilted speech, bad acting kind of suss. This is a person who has been online for years. He knows how to present himself to gain the response that he wants. I wonder if he got the idea for the mask, the oddness and the vocal tones from the movie Frank (2014) starring Michael Fassbender? Wherever the truth lies, Nick appears to not be hurting anyone, at least with the information currently available.
